I was saying to Swift Jim last night that with all that I have on my plate at the moment I feel like a kettle boiling. You know bubbling away, getting hot, almost ready to spill over the edge...

Here is a list of all the things that consume my energy and brain power on a regular basis.* Connor* Ella* Libby* Being a wife* Keeping a house in order (or in my case not in order)* Sewing* working 4 days a week (and learning how to do the job)* Womens ministry stuff at church* Writing a program to do with the "tween" girls at church* Mum's taxi service (to soccer etc)* Being a friendand I am sure I could add 100 more things to that list, but I wont bore you... You get the idea....

My life is jam packed! I am exhausted! Trying to find a happy balance between everything is a real struggle. I am really enjoying my new job and the hours are extremely family friendly. I was juggling everything else ok until I threw 4 days of work into the mix. We need the money so I can't not work. Something has to give! So, if I take sewing and Womens ministry stuff out of the picture will that lighten the load? I sure hope so. I still want to sew. Afterall I worked SO hard last year to build FF&F up. But I need to downsize massively!! No more markets. I think I will still take orders in small amounts and occasionally add things to my online shop. But I doubt it will be on regular basis. It's been hard to make a decision. But I think I am happy(ish) with it.
